@@2stroketurbo Yes. It is pretty compelling video content. Of course being local to me is an added attraction. I used to live in that part of town and worked at the shipyard.
Thank you for bringing us these beautiful memories of the Me-200-KR, one of my cousins had one, equipped with loudspeakers, and an open-reel Geloso recorder, he did commercial advertising on the main avenue of the town back in 1960 or so!!!
I learned to drive in one of these. A KR200 Cabriolet. Great fun, but a little unstable on corners as it tended to tip over. My friend's older brother collected them and had three: two KR200s and a KR500 Tiger. My friend and I used to tear around the field at the back of his house, wearing old flying goggles and pretend we were in WW2 dogfights. Well, we were only 14 at the time. Great video and thanks for bringing back some fond memories.
Cheers, from a one-time Isetta owner! During 1968 and 1969, I put 13000 miles on it before it spat the dummy; fun to drive if you didn't mind limiting speed to 37mph, which even as a 19 year old, I decided was its comfortable and safe cruising speed. I drove it from Auckland to Napier twice as well as daily driving. You can use Google Earth to see how long that trip was - an 8-hour epic! It cost $180 in Dec 1967 ... 10 years ago, a nice one went to auction and raised $24000!
When I was a kid my father has an Isetta (3 wheeler version) and the chap down the road had a Messerschmitt just like yours....They use to race each other down the dual carrageway. The Village cobbler had a Peel P50.....Well it was the 60's (I think maybe I'm showing my age)
Great story, that must have looks like bizarro world. I live two blocks from Chrysler world headquarters in the late sixties, saw the turbine car drive down our street.
We can't help being "garage sniffers" 😁 with all the way cool little cars you have, some I have heard of, some I haven't, some I have seen, most of them not, except for your collection! Cracking up at Stella, she kept checking on your progress on the Messerschmitt, as if to say: "hurry up dad, I Wanna ride!"😊 Thanks, and keep the great videos coming!
Every time I see one of these I think of Brazil and that scene of Sam Lowrey driving down the motorway in a Messerschmitt while surrounded by giant pit-mine trucks
Brings back memories. Back in the day I had an Isetta and my cousin had a Messerschmitt. I got to drive his car a couple of times. Those cars were so much fun. We went out one Sunday on a hot sunny day with our girlfriends, and down a country road with a ford over a stream. I followed my cousin and he took the ford at 30 mph and so did I. We had the sunroof open on the Isetta and when we hit the water it came right up the front of the car and in through the sunroof. I and my girlfriend got soaked to the skin, but we laughed so much it was worth it.
Your description of that fateful night was perfect. Made me laugh out loud. Reminds me of the time I was taking my new-ish car through the car wash for the first time and my son was curious about what that button on the ceiling did and pushed it: It opened the sunroof! We got soaped and washed for a few seconds and had a nice laugh about it!
I love micro cars. They’re so unique and fun! You have an amazing collection and I’m grateful you share it with us. I hope to one day own my own vintage car. Thanks again!
Thanks for posting! What a super car. Must be the only car with 4 forward and 4 reverse gears! Nice to see that the U.K. roads aren’t the only ones with pot holes all over the place. 1 criticism!. You should have taken the dog, he was obviously dying for a ride! Can’t find your fine weather run, I’ll keep looking.
I can't even find the words to describe how beautiful your collection is your dog is awesome every time you fire something up there she comes! Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection what I would give to have just one LOL no but seriously...
En Suisse, Dans la famille ,en 1968~70,mon père avait 1 messerschmitt rouge cabriolet et ma mère un messerschmitt idem de celui ci...mais jaune. Le bruit, l'odeur quand on ouvre le cockpit, ouvrir l'essence, le son du moteur, 4 vitesses avant, 4 vitesses arrière !!!!? par inversion du sens du moteur 👌 cet inoubliable..🤩.. Merci pour cette Vidéo 👍🙋♂️😉
So cool. After WWII Germany could not have car factories. Messerschmitt had delivered together with Junkers airplanes for the 3rd Reich. Only later on in 1955 Messerschmitt could make cars again. This cabinscooter with a 150cc or a 175cc two stroke engine was the first vehicle they made.
Just looked up some Messerschmitt adverts here in Germany. Starting at 25.000 Euros and cost about 40.000 Euros for restored one like yours! Wow! I love them.
I like your taste in cars my first car was a 62 Morris minor conv I have owned a Land Rover 90 a 71 simca I currently have a 90s Dihatsu Hijet my daily is a 94 Delica l400 and yes Ilive in Southern Oregon
Take note younglings - that was considered a car at one time (sorta). We just take these for toys these days, but I've known people who used these as daily drivers in their time. I'm not saying all vehicles should go back to the basics, but look at what sizes we build today!
Went looking for a nice Honda Accord video and this thing showed up. Will definitely get a lot of enjoyment out of your other videos if this is anything to go on.
Aww the good old Messerschmiitt Kabinenroller as we call it in Germany. A legend, a neighbor from mine had this as his city car and drove nearly daaily with it. These where cheap student cars in the 70s I was told, nowadays there are expensive collectors items. To go backwards you restart the engine the other way, how nice is that :-)
Awesome! Next time, if possible, can you please explain what each light is for on the dash as well as all the switches? Your cars are exceptional, and I love how well you take care of them. Just curious, do you know Miles Chappel? He's the guru for honda 600's, and, like is, a tiny car nut.
My dad used to tell me this kind of car was commonly called "Leukoplastbomber" in Germany after the war. Leukoplast is a German brand of surgical tape.
The front seat design is really nifty in that you can cantilever it up and back to ease entry. After 1945 the Germans manufactured anything and everything they could think of to make money, and of course they still had many top designers. Within 10 years Germany was enjoying its first Economic Miracle.
Thanks for preserving and educating. I think WW2 Germany would have invaded London in these if it wasn't for the floor jack needed to get it out of the garage. That's why they went with planes instead.
Just come across your channel - very cool cars - I have a 2 stroke Jawa motorcycle (Mustie1 recently got an identical model going after 1,000,000 years !) 2 strokes are a real talking point and make a glorious racket - I have subscribed!
Where did your love for microcars come from? Were there any in your neighbourhood when you were a kid? Most are post cars from a Europe trying to overcome the economic ravages of WW2... Please answer ;-)
TY for sharing video or your vvonderfull collection . As you mentioned , the Messerschmidtt only has 8" vvheels making it get bumped around alot . Can the vvheels size be increased to a 10 or 12 ? As it could improve the ride if you vvanted to take it out for an extended period . I'm not sure hovv that vvould effect overall speed & mileage & I understand that most collectors vvant to keep them original vv/the least amount of "hot rodding" as possible . TY again & vvishing you many years of enjoying your fantastic collection .
I've Never had the opportunity to Drive A Messerschmitt.....But, I Have Driven Many Pieces of Schmitt in My Time.......( lol ). Great Video..Thanks for Sharing !!!
not sure if you know but on Snapchat there’s a section called “Car Insider” and it uses your footage of this vehicle pulling away from the curb and it’s credited to someone called “MPH Specialties”
Dude, I have an older 2 Stroke Tuktuk with 8 inch rims. I feel your pain. Between bouncing to death and going deaf, you never know whats going on while driving.
I collect old vintage motorcycles and restore them only because they're easier to find LOL I don't know how you found your collection but that's just amazing talk to you later
I just have 1 question for you, how have you acquired all these micro masterpieces. They're all super super rare especially the Vespa and messerschmit.
Have you always lived in Oregon? I live all the way over here in NY and I’m just about to enter college at a Maritime Academy next year, and I’ve had a dream of moving out to coastal Oregon and getting away from the rush of NYC and the Long Island traffic.
For sure, it doesn't look bad and would leave some traces on the dashboard. But it immediately came to my mind at first sight. Quite familiar view as a Wartburg driver. Maybe an East German import? Keep up the great CZcams work and thanks for your content.
By far one of the coolest car channels I've ever stumbled upon. Amazing slices of history.
Thank you that's nice to hear

I like how the dog came running to protect the owner from the growling monster :)

Lol I like how stella just runs in the garage ready go for a ride when the engine started
Yes, she comes running does not want to miss out on a ride

Space age styling at it's finest
kraut space magic
Actually, before those cars, Messerschmidt built fighter planes.
@@michaelXXLF : that's why it's built as an airplane cockpit.
I can't even find the words to describe how beautiful your collection is your dog is awesome every time you fire something up there she comes! Thank you for sharing your beautiful collection what I would give to have just one LOL no but seriously...
I found the words: nice cars
The hubcap on your dashboard with the knight pictured is from a Wartburg 311 /312 east german two stroke sedan from the early 1960s
So interesting watching views of your garage and pumping up tyres !
How have you been able to even get your hands on this beautiful vehicles I am quite perplexed please explain!!! 🤨
Daniel Watson I wonder too. Very scarce

Wonderfull ! First "ride " I take on a Messerschmitt Kabinenroller. Nice "live " video. Thanks for the lift. Keep posting.
My uncle used to have one of these, perfect little cars for doing quick errands.
What a cute Frog!
Super color!
... and the interior!
wow what a beautiful Messerschmitt, this is in new condition.
as a child I rode with my parents in such a vehicle.
in 1968.
very beautiful yours.
The knight logo at the dashboard is the logo of the german city and east german two-stroke 3 cyl car Wartburg.
Awesome Tire Pump!
I’m needing one like that - older eyes don’t work like they used to, and that one looks easier to read.

Love your collection. I admire mini Cars
I have only seen scale models of this car. BTW that engine reversing trick is quite interesting.

All those cars & no air compressor ? Lol.
That would be too much fun with a nice modern 4 stroke Honda motor in it.
Blasphemy
Beautiful ! Nothing better than smell of the two stroker🤪👍👍
loved the omg look on the little boy on the bike .

I do know Miles I see him about once a year
In 1965, I had a chance to buy a Messerschmitt for 50 bux. I had about thirty seconds to decide and said no.
Noticed yer Bianchini.
this guy deserves more views!
lovely vehicle, in great shape.
That is one of the Coolest Cars i've ever seen.
My dad used to tell me this kind of car was commonly called "Leukoplastbomber" in Germany after the war. Leukoplast is a German brand of surgical tape.
I love sniffing other people's two stroke exhaust smoke.
Cool channel dude. That's a radical collection, in nice looking shape, too! Enjoy the weather
Amazing bit of history! what's next the full plane?
My father has one of these messerschmitt kr200 white coloured, had it for decades.
excellent ! he has good taste
We need a modern version of these!

ha !
Bad dum tssss
Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the thumbnail.
FERARI before famous
I would totally use a Kabinenroller for my commute. I see that there is an electric replica on the market recently, and that might even be cooler.
I have thought about that too, I love the little 2 strokes but they sure are stinky.
not sure if you know but on Snapchat there’s a section called “Car Insider” and it uses your footage of this vehicle pulling away from the curb and it’s credited to someone called “MPH Specialties”
That would be cool to have a mini tent trailer to tow behind these things for shows!
Dude, I have an older 2 Stroke Tuktuk with 8 inch rims. I feel your pain. Between bouncing to death and going deaf, you never know whats going on while driving.
right on, you got it right for sure
Putting air in the tires looks like quite the upper-body workout!
That is the coolest rig !
Thanks for the ride.
sure thing
That is really neat.I think I like this one best,so far.I'd need snow tires here in MI,and an electric auxiliary heater.
Is there hot in the cockpit in summer times?
Im 13 and this thing is so cool it looks like a car from fallout 4
The charger you were using for the Messerschmitt is the same one I use for my mower
Lovely - thanks for the post. Another subscriber added.
I remember these vehicles from when I was little living in Europe. First dibs if you ever want to sell it.
Wow! Look at those roads in the states, its like a patch work, great Messerschmitt btw.
Populier Vogel it's USA? Almost all the cars on the streets are from europe or asia.
When he started that contraption, I started to cough from all that blue smoke coming through my I-pad screen .
thank goodness they don't make them like they used to
I still remember seeing them around...!
I collect old vintage motorcycles and restore them only because they're easier to find LOL I don't know how you found your collection but that's just amazing talk to you later
The garage sniffer is Stella!
I'm tired and the weather is too spicy, tonight
There's something about my two stroke's ringdingding that makes my town's dogs go wild and super aggressive
A description of the engine would have been nice.
It's funny that Germans are known for complex engineering yet they put the simplest ice engine in this
The Bf109 had a canopy that opened the same way as this one.
I just have 1 question for you, how have you acquired all these micro masterpieces. They're all super super rare especially the Vespa and messerschmit.
Saw one of these in "Brazil" (the movie, not the country).
Hey same guy that has the DKW
your address is given away in this video in case you didn't know.
There is a risk putting out your treasures for the public to see. The high fence and gate look like a good start. Camera, lights and good locks too?
He really needs better protection. Those are some fine gems that people will definitely try to steal. Let's just hope not
Nice Little Car,
Beautiful vehicle!!!
that roof is as rare as rocking horse shit now make sure you dont break it nice messer mate im jealous id love one

Been a sub since 1k how do you find all these cars?
Have you always lived in Oregon? I live all the way over here in NY and I’m just about to enter college at a Maritime Academy next year, and I’ve had a dream of moving out to coastal Oregon and getting away from the rush of NYC and the Long Island traffic.
You wont be the first. This area is chock full of people from the east coast looking to get away from it. And its good !
I move to the southwest 🌵 from Long Island. I spell it Lawn Guyland lol. Don't miss the traffic but I do miss the beach
David Kastin That’s why the Southeast is better.
Excellent! Only flying is more beautiful :-)
It's like Leno's garage if Leno wasn't a multi-millionaire. Well done.
Yes. Ha. That pretty much sums me up
Is there a reason for the Wartburg 311 steering wheel emblem on the dashboard? It shows the blazon of Eisenach.
I always thought it was the saint of traffic safety , car came with it and I kept it
For sure, it doesn't look bad and would leave some traces on the dashboard.
But it immediately came to my mind at first sight. Quite familiar view as a Wartburg driver. Maybe an East German import?
